Squid Game: Fans Rewarding Unsuccessful Players

The winner of Squid Game: The Challenge walked away with the grand prize, but many other players have discovered a new opportunity to make money from fans. The Netflix sensation attracted millions of viewers from around the world, all eager to see which of the 456 players would survive the games and who would be ruthlessly eliminated.

In the end, Mai Whelan (Player 287) emerged as the victorious recipient of the impressive $4.56 million cash prize. While her win sparked mixed reactions among viewers, there's no denying her strategic gameplay and understanding of her fellow contestants.

Unfortunately, the other players did not receive any money from the show, as anticipated. However, several of them have discovered a unique way to generate income from their fans.

Squid Game: The Challenge fans are paying the players who didn’t win

Fans are now paying Dozens of Squid Game: The Challenge players for personalized videos on Cameo, with a total of 54 contestants from the Netflix show now providing their services on the video-sharing platform.

The prices for Cameo clips vary significantly, with some major fan favorites available. If you’d like to treat a loved one to a personalized clip from Trey Plutnicki (Player 301) or his mom LeAnn (Player 302), for example, at the time of writing you can do so for $25.

Certified prodigy Bee (Player 018), on the other hand, is not engaging in the sale of foot pictures but is accessible on Cameo with her price set at the same amount as Trey's. Curiously, team leader TJ's (Player 182) rates are significantly higher, charging $70 per video. Also worth noting are other prominent contestants such as Daniel (Player 204) from Gganbu gang for $15, Spencer (Player 299) from Dalgona for $20, and Phill (Player 451) at $40. Mai has yet to join Cameo, although considering she just won $4.56 million (before taxes, at least), it's safe to say she doesn't need the extra money.

Editor's P/S

As a hard fan of Squid Game, I am thrilled to see that unsuccessful players are finding lucrative opportunities beyond the game. The show's immense popularity has created a unique platform for these players to connect with fans and generate income through personalized videos on Cameo. It's heartwarming to witness the support and appreciation from fans, who are eager to show their love and admiration for their favorite contestants. This innovative way of rewarding players highlights the enduring impact of the show and the strong bond it has created between fans and contestants.

However, I can't help but feel a tinge of disappointment that the other players did not receive any monetary compensation from the show itself. While the winner's grand prize is undoubtedly substantial, it would have been more satisfying to see all participants rewarded for their courage, determination, and contribution to the show's success. Nevertheless, the fact that fans are stepping up to support their favorite players through Cameo demonstrates the power of community and the genuine connection that Squid Game has fostered among its audience.
